Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park Anniversary Lecture Series

For 25 years Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park has been telling the stories of the people of the Mission. They honor that tradition with a lecture series to mark their 25th Anniversary. Join Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park for a variety of topics from diverse speakers who will help put the past in perspective and give us a glimpse into the future.

Dress warmly! Bring lawn chairs or cushions or bench seating. Each evening will include a reception on the patio.
